        Great.

        Naming conventions is a suck & see :-) look for something that seems
related, and put it next to it.

        The schemas (XML description of settings and their defaults) live in
officecfg/

        If you do:

        git grep -3 ExperimentalMode

        you should get a manageable set of hits for a single config setting. I
don't think you'll easily be able to use the nice new syntax that
Stephan created:

if (officecfg::Office::Common::Misc::ExperimentalMode::get( 
comphelper::getProcessComponentContext() ))

        style - since you want a list of items: which is (I'm afraid) harder to
do, you'll most likely have to use a twistier UNO API to access the
configmgr/ implementation, and may have more fun with the schemas :-)

        Hope that helps,

                Michael.
